You’re not broken
Healing is possible
Origins Holistic Psychotherapy is a space for deep healing, transformation, and self-discovery. We believe that true well-being comes from addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Your experiences, emotions, and challenges are uniquely yours, and our approach honors that.
We offer integrative, trauma-informed care through psychotherapy, coaching, and somatic healing, blending evidence-based techniques with holistic modalities to help you regulate your nervous system, release old patterns, and step into a more aligned and empowered version of yourself.
You are seen, heard, and welcome here. We provide affirming care for all identities and backgrounds. Explore our site to learn more, meet our team, and schedule a free 15-minute consultation to begin your journey.
How it works
1
Book a free consultation call
This initial phone call is for you to discuss what brings you to therapy, share the challenges you're experiencing, ask any questions you may have, discuss policies/costs, and discover if we're a good fit for working together.
2
Schedule your first session
If we both feel comfortable moving forward, we'll schedule a session. Before we meet, you'll complete some forms on confidentiality, HIPAA, consent for treatment, and basic information/history.
3
Establish a therapeutic relationship
In the first session, we'll get to know one another and set your goals for therapy. In our initial appointment, it’s important to notice if therapy feels like a space where you can see yourself trusting and opening up to me over time.
4
Meet on a weekly/bi-weekly basis
For most clients, Origins suggest that we begin meeting once a week. Once we meet some of your goals, we may decide to meet bi-weekly or less often, usually after six months time.
EMDR
Therapy that helps reprocess distressing memories using bilateral stimulation, promoting emotional, cognitive, and nervous system healing while reducing trauma’s lingering effects.
ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY
A collection of approaches for understanding and improving functioning. EP focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, sensations, behaviors, and bioenergy systems.
HOLISTIC THERAPY
An integrative approach focusing on the relationship between mind, body, and spirit, attempting to discover the deepest level of healing through the foundations of health and wellness.
You’re ready to transform…
You're tired of struggling and want to live a healthy and fulfilling life, but for that to happen, it’s helpful to have guidance so that you can see between the lines of your life experiences!
Origins believe that psychotherapy doesn't have to be invasive or energetically depleting. Instead, therapy can be a compassionate experience facilitated with safety, integrative practices, and intentional awareness while you journey through vulnerable spaces with love.
To get started, book a free consultation call today with our clinician’s, so you can find your light again.
